    Einfache, schöne Runde. Nur in eine Richtung ausgeschildert. In Außer-Edensbach fehlt ein entscheidendes Hinweisschild. Steiler Aufstieg zur Burg zum Abschluss: Pflicht :-)

    Die Strecke von Kempten bis Isny ist die schönste der Allgäu-Radrunden-Routen, die ich gefahren bin: Ab kurz hinter Kempten radelt man entlang der zum Radweg ausgebauten ehemaligen Trasse des Isny Bähnle, die mit Informationstafeln über die Geschichte des Bähnle Auskunft gibt. Zu Beginn stetig steigend kann man sich ab kurz hinter der Unterführung der B12 gemächtlich bergab rollen lassen. Herrlich! Am Eistobel bei Grünenbach gibt es eine kostenfreie Ladestation für E-Bikes und Handys. Mit etwas Glück ist der Platz unter dem einzigen Sonnenschirm frei. Im Alten Hecht in Isny lässt es sich wunderbar mit Blick auf die Enten in der Ach auf der ruhigen Terrasse erholen und abkühlen. Die Allgäu-Tour lässt sich hervorragend mit den Routen 'Radrunde Allgäu- Etappen 1-7', 'Illerradweg', 'Allgäu Radweg Achse der Radrunde Allgäu' und 'May-Nui 04 Allgäu 2015' kombinieren. Vielen Dank fürs Einstellen!

    Sehr schöne Runde. Hat mir gut gefallen. Besonders die Strecken im kühlen Wald und Waldrand. Zu sehen gibt es nicht viel, bietet sich aber als Hunderunde an. Wenn man sich die Beine vertreten will und nicht unbedingt die tolle Aussicht braucht, ist dieser Weg absolut empfehlenswert.
